Astrology of Today – December 6, 2014

Summary:

Emotions run high. The Full Moon this morning brings information to light. This is a good time to release, reveal, or announce something, particularly communications or learning-related, that you want others to catch on to, but not for revealing a matter that you want to downplay. There can be a lot of information coming in today. Take it in, but process everything before making important decisions.

The Moon is in Gemini all day (until Sunday, December 7th, at 12:36 PM EST).

The Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous before 7:26 AM/Full Moon phase after 7:26 AM.

A Full Moon occurs at 7:26 AM EST in GEMINI (Cold Moon)

Horoscopes

Aries

The Full Moon today stimulates your communications and transportation sector. What’s said, or left unsaid, can quickly become a full-blown issue today. A project may be ready to release, there could be news or a sudden scurry to get something done. There may be a clearing of the air or an important conversation about an issue that’s been building. What emerges from all of this in the coming days can lead to important ideas, particularly related to learning, teaching, publishing, and career.

Taurus

A Full Moon can bring light to a financial matter today, or to issues surrounding personal possessions, valuables, talents, and resources. There can be a turning point in a close relationship, with money, or business, and a revelation that leads to new and important ideas in the coming days. For some, there can be a situation that requires you to defend or stand up for your worth or values. A wake-up call surrounding managing your money and personal resources comes at a good time – when Mars is stimulating your material ambition. This can be a helpful jump-start.

Gemini

The Full Moon is in your sign today, dear Gemini, and this puts your feelings in the spotlight. There can be a revelation or epiphany about a partnership or about your own image and ability to take charge of your life. There can be a culmination or turning point for many of you – it’s a time to recognize the need for change and to reinvent yourself in a significant way. If you’ve been feeling like a doormat recently, doing everything for others and little for yourself, you’ll feel this strongly now. Instead of a temper tantrum, look for ways to regain balance between independence and togetherness.

Cancer

The Full Moon that occurs today lights up your privacy sector. This area of your chart is much like a closet, and is not accustomed to a show of lights. What you see now can be surprising, but it can also lead the way to important changes. Letting go of the past in significant ways is important now. It’s a process, and not a quick one, but you are making revelations that really take you far. If you’ve been working too hard or focusing so much on practical matters recently, as many Cancers have, this is a time when the need to face your emotions or get extra rest becomes clear. Seek balance!

Leo

Today’s Full Moon can stimulate a discovery or epiphany in your social life. A friendship or romance can reach a turning point, or there could be a sudden need to detach yourself from personal focus in order to connect with others in meaningful ways. You are reminded of the role you play in others’ lives or even in your community. This can be a time to make an announcement, to perform a humanitarian gesture, or to reach out to people around you after a relatively self-absorbed period. Seek balance now. Take in information, but take your time to process everything.

Virgo

The Full Moon today brings a reputation, career, or responsibility matter to light. You might suddenly be in the position to perform, take charge, or otherwise lead and manage. Many of you have been focusing on your personal lives, family, and home matters. If you’ve overdone this, it’s time to redirect some of your attention to your outside obligations. It’s a busy time for work or responsibilities. For some, there can be a job opportunity or change. Imbalances are revealed at the time of a Full Moon, and it’s up to you to try to restore order in your life.

Libra

All signs seem to be pointing towards a need for more adventure, life experience, and consciousness expansion, dear Libra. Not only is Mars enlivening your romance and creative sector, fueling your passions, the Full Moon that occurs today illuminates your adventure sector, and reminding you that you need time away from the regular routine. This is about renewal, revival, and spiritual replenishment. You are more courageous and adventurous. For some, a project culminates, something is published or released, or a course of study reaches a conclusion.

Scorpio

The Full Moon that occurs today stimulates financial, sharing, and ownership matters for you, Scorpio. There can be drama regarding debts, a spouse’s money, taxes, investments, or on an emotional level, matters of sharing, including power dynamics and intimacy. New money can come in or debts need to be settled. If you’ve been dependent on others in unhealthy ways, or on things, this can be a time for really seeing it and wanting to make a change. Emotional discoveries can lead to important ideas in the coming days.

Sagittarius

With today’s Full Moon in Gemini, there can be a breakthrough of sorts in a close relationship. A partner can have a lot to say now and in the coming days. Something about you or a partner, or the relationship itself, can be revealed. There can be important announcements, epiphanies, and realizations. This can mark a turning point in a partnership. News today is important, but possibly overblown and exaggerated, so take the time to process everything before deciding something major.

Capricorn

With a lot of focus on your emotional wellness and need for personal time these days, dear Capricorn, today’s Full Moon can bring light to a work or health matter that needs attention. There can be a turning point now and in the coming days, such as a work project or job ending or beginning, or health news/endeavor that serves as a wakeup call. Pay attention to hunches and clues, but keep in mind that the emotions of the day can serve to exaggerate information coming in. Take time to process everything before making big decisions and moves.

Aquarius

The Full Moon this morning encourages you to recognize and embrace romantic or creative feelings, and to share your good humor with others, dear Aquarius. This is about following your heart, but first and foremost, it’s about knowing what’s in your heart. Feelings that you’ve brushed aside or left unacknowledged can come rushing to the surface now. If you are in need of a nudge to get going on something creative, playful, or just-for-fun, this is the time. A project, or even a friendship, can reach an important turning point.

Pisces

Today’s Full Moon turns your attention back to home and family, dear Pisces, after spending some time tending to outside responsibilities. Any imbalances between work and family, or personal/public life, become glaringly obvious, and now is the time to take steps to balance out the scales. Feelings are strong today, and information coming in can be either too much or exaggerated, so try to keep things in perspective. You can feel that changes need to be made, but letting the dust settle a little before finalizing decisions is probably wise.

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 6th:

Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.

Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).

**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important.

THE MOON

THE MOON IN GEMINI
You have a basic need for mental stimulation. You are curious and seek answers to many questions. You are a chatterbox. When young, you may have called upon your mother to provide stimulation and activity.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON
OPPOSITION THE SUN Orb 2°17′ Separating
You have an imbalance between your ego and emotions, your assertion and your empathy, and your masculine and feminine natures. This may be a result of disagreements between your mother and father.

OPPOSITION MERCURY Orb 3°13′ Separating
You struggle to make decisions in your life, unsure whether to follow your feelings or your thoughts; your heart or your head. This means that you doubt yourself much of the time. You need to find a balance between the two.
